BOSTON – March 1, 2010 – VFA, Inc., the leading provider of end-to-end solutions for facilities capital planning and asset management, today announced the promotion of Brian E. Lynch to Vice President, Federal Market. Formerly a vice president for VFA’s Federal strategic accounts, Mr. Lynch will now be responsible for managing an expanded team, developing business and increasing the company’s already sizable footprint in the Federal sector.

“In my 11 years at VFA, the company has experienced significant momentum in the Federal sector, adding more than 20 customers ranging from the Department of Energy to Washington Headquarters Services, and becoming a standard for Federal business practices,” said Brian Lynch, vice president, Federal market, VFA, Inc. “With government agencies facing continued accountability and increased Federal report requirements, VFA plays a significant role in assisting them to determine facility condition, prioritize requirements and gain a clear understanding of their portfolio from a single centralized source.”

Mr. Lynch previously served as Federal Business Director at VFA, working closely with senior real property officers, capital planners and asset managers at Federal government agencies—including the nation’s largest property manager, General Services Administration (GSA), the Department of Agriculture (USDA), the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and the U.S. Army Medical Command (MEDCOM)—to aid them in better understanding their organizational goals and objectives, and to implement effective capital planning solutions.
